What Do You Really Know?

Usually we assume that Thought is in charge, and that whatever it says must be true. But I encourage you to check whether you can really know what you think you know. Don’t just blindly rely on thought. Is thought even really that reliable? Or is it just that it feels terrifying to really acknowledge that without relying on thought, there is such a sense of loss of control. But although it is frightening, this is the free-fall into not knowing, that we really long for. Thought is not the enemy. We don’t need to try to change or stop it. In fact it is not even important enough to try to change or stop, or to give that much attention to. It is only a servant that has taken itself to be the boss. See thought for what it really is, and know that it is ridiculous to believe much of what it says.
